I8600c networking troubles... need some help

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
OK, last week i installed a wireless router in my house. I installed a wireless card in my PC upstairs, hooked up my main office desktop to it w/ an ethernet cable, and i have my wireless card in my 8600 of course. Now heres my prob. I set up the "my documents" folder upstairs to be shared on the network, which worked fine. I also did the same with my laptop, which worked fine. working fine meaning that i can access those folders from any comp. in the house. However, when i went to share my iTunes folder on my main desktop so that i could listen to all my songs from my notebook without actually taking up all that space on the HD, i'm running into a problem.

I can see all the folders i've shared from any computer by going to "my network places". When i go to open the folder with all my music in it (which is a 5.6 gig file) i get an error message reading:


\\Desktop\311 is not accessable. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permission.

Not enough server storage is available to process this command.


Based on the last line of the error, i'm guessing the file is simply to large to be shared throughout the network. Conversly, the network at my work has HUGE files that can be shared by multiple network users at the same time. All i know is i've been working for 2 weeks to figure this out and i've gotten really no where. I've tried individually sharing each artists music folder as well, to no avail. If anyone can help me out here, i'd really really appreciate it, as this is frustrating the hell out of me. Thanks for any input and sorry about the super-long post!!! hopefully this isn't in the wrong forum either...

I have a home network in which i have huge folders (even bigger than the one you have) shared and i have no problem accessing them. Have you checked to see if maybe you unchecked the thing that says something like "allow other users to access this folder"?

See if this is any help:

It's definitely not a problem with the size of files being shared, we have folders nearing a terabyte shared with individual files tens of gigs in size.

thanks for the reply's guys. civic. i did make sure those check boxes are not checked all the way up through drive c (as to include all the subfolders that lead to it, know what i mean?) i'll also check that article out now n let you know... sounds a bit risky using that method but we'll see what happens

I had a similar problem a while back, I found if if ran a chkdsk on the drive and the problem went away. I share very large stuff and do not have problems now.
